Carlene is doing better today. In the past, Sunday was typically her worst day after the infusion on the previous Thursday. We're thinking that skipping a day of steroids on Friday resulted in the acceleration of her worst day to Saturday. I'm praying that she continues to do well today and doesn't have a relapse this afternoon. We gotta get out of the house today. The weather has been lousy and Carlene sure didn't feel like doing anything yesterday. We walked a little at the mall yesterday morning and then spent the afternoon sitting around watching a DVD of the Broncos beating the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII back in January of 1998. We were at that game, but we never had seen the recording of the original broadcast. We forgot about a lot that happened during the game. But we remembered just how nervous we were for the Broncos when we were there. We had witnessed all but one of the Broncos' humble pie experiences at Super Bowls firsthand and that day we thought it was going to happen again. And I drank a little wine yesterday while we watched the game. I know, your disappointed.....But a friend gave me some great Pinot Noir, and I couldn't help myself. In fact, I have a little left, and I don't have a headache......hmmmm. Like I said, Carlene needs to get me out of the house....
I just remembered that a Packers fan offered me $5,000 for my two Super Bowl tickets the night before the game. But Carlene wouldn't let me sell them. I was all for watching the game at my brother Neal's house in San Diego with $5k in my pocket, but Carlene told me that wasn't gonna happen....she's a bigger Bronco fan the I am, really. We're glad we didn't sell the tickets. Kevin was with us as that game, and it was a wonderful experience for us. It's funny, but he was watching the DVD (he loaned us his copy) the other day, and after it was over, thanked us for taking him to the game. My grandmother died in December of 1997, and my dad and his brother gave each of us grand kids $1,000 from her estate. I used my little inheritance from my grandmother to buy Kevin a scalped Super Bowl ticket. Is that sick or what??

Hi, Mike and Carlene!
Mike, I enjoyed your story about the $5k vs. the Super Bowl game. That was a touch decision to make. I'm sorry Carlene had a rough day yesterday. Let's hope and pray that there will be no more days like that. Only two more treatments left....the light at the end of the tunnel.
Hugs and prayers! Sandy
